    Hydraulic Model Studies of Canyon Ferry Dam Spillway Stilling Basin

    New search for: P. H. Burgi

    Hydraulic model studies were made to determine the cause and recommend a solution for the deposit and movement of riverbed material into the Canyon Ferry Dam spillway stilling basin. Tests indicated that movement or riverbed material into the basin resulted from operation of the river outlet works at discharges greater than 3,000 cu ft/s (85 cu m/s). Several solutions to the problem are suggested, including a limitation on operation of the river outlets to 3,000 cu ft/s. Model tests estimated the spillway discharge and length of time required to clean the existing 900 cu yd (688 cu m) of riverbed material from the basin. Soundings taken at Canyon Ferry Dam immediately after the suggested spillway release confirmed the model results.
